Confluence not starting after upgrade from 6.90 to 8.5.3

[Philip White]

Updated postgres to 15, that went well. Ran the installer script with no issue.

After running the start script, I'm not seeing an interesting errors in the logs. Once, after running for 7 or 8 minutes, it printed out a an OOM error for what looked like a migration task (should have saved the error). So I increased the memory to the JVM, now it's been running for 30 minutes.
